First sentence: In this opposition, Descartes' Paris is a world full of dependent relations, leaving no place for the vacuum, a world where clarity and understanding impose on things their notion of what is evident - one only sees what one understands  and Newton's London is a world with a spirit emptied of dependent relations, determined to see, even if it costs the extinction of its lanterns, confronting what seems uncertain, doubtful or strange.
